Question about RAM
The prices for RAM have decreased drastically in the last month, so I'm thinking of buying 4GB (2 x 2GB) of RAM. The problem is there are so many options on Newegg that I have no idea which is the best one as most of them have gotten good reviews. The computer I am going to install the RAM on has a Quad Core Q6600 OC'ed to 3.2GHz and is running Windows Vista 32-bit. I've heard that either the memory or the processor is usually the bottleneck of computer speed. So should I get DDR2 800, DDR2 1066, or etc? I'm not necessarily looking for the best deal (budget is $200, which I think is pretty high), but simply for the fastest and most reliable RAM product to go along with the processor to ensure no loss of computing speed.
Thanks! Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Will getting 800 sticks decrease the performance of the computer that much? I'm a huge multitasker, and would also like to stay on top of the latest games, apps (photoshop, premiere, etc), and videos (1080p quality movies). And yea, I read about the RAM limitations of XP and Vista.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
